Two American collegiate football linemen completed physical activity surveys, anthropometric assessments, dietary recalls, and blood draws across a 20-month period during which Player A continued training professionally in football while Player B transitioned out of the sport after his final collegiate season. Few changes were observed for Player A, whereas notable changes in physical activity, body mass, and endocrine factors associated with metabolic regulation were noted in Player B. Considerable alterations in physical activity and biomarkers occurred in the immediate transition out of competitive football, suggesting the possibility of long-term health consequences in the absence of future positive lifestyle behavioral changes. Alternatively, the adoption or maintenance of health behaviors could reverse risks. With a greater emphasis on lifespan wellness, this level 2 exploratory case series illustrates a key opportunity for athletic trainers to monitor athletes' cardiometabolic risks over an extended period and implement transitional care strategies to promote postcompetitive health.
两名美国大学生橄榄球线卫在 20 个月的时间内完成了体力活动调查、人体测量评估、饮食回忆和血液采集，在此期间，球员 A 继续在足球领域进行专业训练，而球员 B 在最后一个大学赛季后退出了这项运动。球员 A 的变化不大，而球员 B 的体力活动、体重和与代谢调节相关的内分泌因素则发生了显著变化。从竞技性足球中立即退役会导致身体活动和生物标志物发生重大变化，这表明如果未来没有积极的生活方式行为改变，可能会导致长期的健康后果。或者，采用或保持健康的行为方式可能会降低风险。随着对寿命健康的重视程度的提高，这个 2 级探索性病例系列说明了一个关键的机会，运动训练员可以在延长的时间内监测运动员的心脏代谢风险，并实施过渡性护理策略，以促进竞争后的健康。
